Year One - Term 4 Overview, 2015
Dear Parents,
This last school term will include many important events and activities for our Year One students. We will host the K-6 assembly this term and invite all parents, family and friends to come along on the day. Year One will also participate in a Science incursion during the term and take part in the end of year fun day for K-2. Below is an overview of the focus areas of learning for the term and important dates to remember.
English- Students will continue to develop their basic literacy skills and will be responding to and composing a range of imaginative, persuasive and informative texts. Students will utilise technology regularly eg. ipads, web based apps, audio tools to view and create texts by working collaboratively with their peers.
Mathematics learning will continue to develop student’s number skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication (grouping) and division (sharing). Students will also revise 2D, 3D shapes, time and money and learn to solve word problems.
Science- Our Science unit this term is called Look! Listen! This unit investigates how light and sound work. Additionally, students will participate in a visiting Science incursion where all students participate in interactive, hands on experiments.
Art- Students will be inspired by ‘Picasso instruments’ artworks this term. They will engage in drawing, collage and sculpture experiences and have opportunities to express their individual creativity.
Music and PE- Our specialist teachers in sport and music will continue to develop the children’s skills in these areas throughout the term. Students will be busy learning new songs in music this term to perform at the end of year Presentation Day ceremony.

*Please remember if students require additional clothing, they can wear their school jumper or jacket over top of the summer uniform. Clothing underneath the summer uniform is difficult for students to remove throughout the day. As the weather warms up, students with many layers on may become uncomfortable or unwell at school.
Thank you for your continued interest and support. We hope to see you during the term at our assembly and presentation days.
